Regarding False Positives

The whole point of Turnitin is that it's aggressive: at least at my uni we are informed that it flags up stuff for review that is then manually processed. Got a load of red flags and alarm bells? It just means your lecturer is going to go through and ensure it's all quotes and coincidence, then nothing bad will happen.

I didn't know students used turnitin directly, we all just submit to an internal system online which is then used by the lecturer.

Personally there's nothing wrong with using technology like this. Your uni makes it clear what's going on and if you get caught after being told there's an automated system that scans EVERYTHING, well you aren't the brightest bulb in the box...

Who is watching the watchers. It's amazing how much power an admin has, especially since they are all to often the only person who actually knows what's going on...

Wireless comms and the end of civilisation

cool

interesting to see the realistic side to this. Of course, we know survivors is a work of fiction but it is always educational to learn what happens if things really do go "down the pan"
